Bush's Fantasyland

Courtesy of Bill in Portland Maine contributing to Daily Kos, here is a rundown John Stewart made of George Bush telling us how we are moving right along quite nicely in Iraq:

Jon Stewart goes by the book:
George W. Bush, January 2006: "There's progress. And it's important progress and it's an important part of our strategy to win in Iraq."
Bush, November 2005: "Iraq is making incredible political progress."
Bush, October 2005: "Iraqis are making inspiring progress."
Bush, September 2005: "Iraq has made incredible political progress."
Bush, April 2005: "I believe we're making good progress in Iraq."
Bush, March 2005: "We're making progress."
Bush, September 2004: "We're making steady progress."
Bush, July 2003: "We're making progress. It's slowly but surely making progress."
Actually, y'know what I think the president's problem is? Perhaps his definition of the word "progress." I have the reference book he uses when he doesn’t know what a word means: Mistaken P. Wrongingston's Diktionary of English. Let's see...ah, here we are. "Progress: Chaos caused by one's own incompetence that's portrayed as the result of others' malfeasance."

Notice how sometime between April and September of 2005, “we” stopped being the ones making progress and it became “Iraq” or “Iraqis” who were making the progress. More recently, in January 2006, it was somewhere in-between: “There’s progress.”
